They tell me get a grip, strangers grasp me from below, they can really give some lip, I don't need drugs to pray, sooth my bones, find the need to get away, stowaways make surly trips, manacled wretched clones, others take a coin and flip, hollow jokes and spirits fray, down unforgiving zones, a lie in everything they say, they make your spirits dip, like alcoholic dojos, with another 'script, don't ask me how I sleep, or even want to atone, when faith makes a leap, you wonder why I slip, for every childhood groan, on my coffin ship, I sail away for home.

Sean

You like strong tea, tears lachrymose, to fill up the sea, never one to atone, you let yourself go , take out the thorns, jokes your repartee, might have once been so, your head starts to ease, replace time with certainty, the moon fills your dome, you'll always have needs, the scorn they pour down, why beat that drum, where is your home, you're not like a fiddly, or one to roam, just want to believe, the kids that have gone, their mother alone, whisky a scouring stone, when they all leave, do you mop your brow, walk to the lavatory, admit that you're wrong

Raith Four

It's been a while, but there you go, you're no longer a child, when women start to pray, or when the cock crows, you'll have your say, no need to find, what you already own, deep in your smile, a star shows the way, frozen in your bones, there are not many trains, say you don't mind, you'd rather come alone, whatever the time, stay here a while, wrapped against the snow, you have great style, we sit by a fire, listening to the blow, your eyes look wild, lost in your soul.

Raith Three

A diagnosis only half true, she smells the Limes, asks what's wrong with you, acts like she knows, the ties that bind, blow hard on her bones, hope brings you truth, what can't be put right, except there's no clue, she won't be alone, in this cosy light, sits watching the crows, has to keep going through evening and night, when the kids 'phone, she sits near the flue, it's not a crime, for a fire to bring news, says she'll be fine, drink gets her through, a strange time, to wonder what's due?

Raith Two

Time breeds uncertainty, the shouting and fighting, the furious unease, don't need the news, to tell me what's right, or sink down a few, winter's like the heating, lilac as the night, it captures the need, find another avenue, some morning light, who needs this curfew, the walls are like treacle, what's down the line, before it's seized, need to find the screw, unlock my eyes, it's dark in this milieu, good reasons to scream, wonders if there's fire, or head for the sea, got to keep happy.

Raith

Will you be the same, a smile beneath the trees, each time we separate, the dollars and dimes, bars stacked like wheat, we sit drinking wine, now it's a morning shame, not just my teeth, that plays this tired game, No I'm not fine, come back to me, don't stay with that Line, what does it take, a dawn novena, to have you back again, your smile like a porcupine, your body a litany, now is the time, why can’t you remain, where the sun rises even, cars fill up their lanes, I wait for the sea.

Myriam Three

You say it’s time to leave, don't really want to go, not part of my creed, you send me anyway, to live or die alone, make my own grave, our love is bittersweet, no real need for home, children, big dreams, shifting sounds of the day, you dance on sunlit bones, i'm here to stay, sing along to the sea, the only song I own, it's not me that's weeping, sing along and pray, the time to roam is done, that's what I say, please don't try to push me, I only weigh eight stone, who are you to believe, tears irrigate my soul.
